To me, spring is when everything gets a second chance at a new beginning. That is why I think it’s my favorite time of year, my fresh start at something that could have gotten dull over the winter. This Earth day is extra special because it now involves my daughter Riley. I plan on teaching her how to plant some flowers for the butterflies.

For myself, I have come up with a manageable list of things I will improve on to be more sustainable.

* take an organic vegetable gardening course so I can grow my own crops in the backyard {just started on Sunday}

*buy 1 or 2 cortland apple trees to enjoy in our yard

*air dry our laundry {started yesterday, so many socks!}

*hang some dried eucalyptus in the shower to freshen and clean the stuffy bathroom air

*stock both freezers so they are full {with ice if not food} to save on total energy needed to keep items cold

*stop buying paper napkins and be really conscience about using cloth instead

Apparently we’re not allowed clothes lines, but my dry racks are just fine… as long as the dog doesnt knock them over and make more laundry for me! haha
